Today Venice is a different kind of drawing room. Wealthy visitors clamber into gondolas to gawk at the Byzantine palaces while being serenaded by accordionists and art appreciators stand on tiptoe for a glimpse of Renaissance masterpieces. No monument is as memorable as the city itself, so use the major sights only as an excuse for wandering. Venice revolves around piazza San Marco. The best feature of the mosaic-covered Basilica di San Marco is the Pala D’Oro, a glittering gold Byzantine bas-relief. The Torre dell’Orologio, left of San Marco, is a beautifully embellished clock tower. For culture vultures check the Accademia for the best of Venetian paintings. Some say that the tourist Venice is indeed Venice, but there are other Venices as well.

1 1 The Search for the Spirit of the Ecorche of Michelangelo; a Painter’s Journey Delivered New York Studio School, November 6, 2007 Copyright Kim Sloane © 11/6/07 Not for reproduction or distribution. Draft with notes - Friday, November 16, 2007 11/16/2007-2 1) This lecture is based on a true story. The story begins standing in front of a painting at the Metropolitan Museum, with a pencil and sketchbook in my hand. It has continued ever since, in the form of a journey both intellectual and artistic. It has become a prolonged meditation on traditions, influence, kinds of influence, and above all, on the subject of movement, the movement of ideas, movements of form, and movements of the mind and, most importantly , how all these work together. It is not intended as Art history, but an attempt to follow ideas, in the studio tradition, artist to artist, as we do here this evening, both through the visual record of painting, drawing and sculpture and in the writings that artists have left us. It is an attempt to uncover kinds of influence that go beyond formal appearance. This evening. I would like to take you on my journey and would like to share some of my discoveries with you The painting I was standing in front of, drawing was the Abduction of Rebecca by Delacroix. Slide - Abduction of Rebecca, Delacroix 1846 As many of us know, to really see, to penetrate a painting, drawing from it is the best way. I have drawn from this painting many times, but this time, something different 2 happened, something new.
